Its mid of January in a blink of an eye. Days have been really hectic and I am right on my magic carpet truly enjoying the hubbub, the whirlwind of ups and downs :)

I'd read a blog by a friend of mine. I think my friend is emotional and this makes her sky looks gloomy. Negative energy is overwhelming. and this reminds me how emotional I'd been previously. and I think I'd changed. and its good! Emotions are not supposed to be sth we have direct and instant power over. We should stop trying to control our emotions. Just, I dunno, since when I'd embraced vulnerability with suitable amount of protection.

Its not about rejecting nor repressing emotions. Its not a combative process. It will eventually bottle up and it is damaging to our health. YYF thinks why dont just accept they are there and there's a positive intention behind them. Understand both the external and internal aspects which create them, amplify them and sustain them. Dont suppress but change ur emotional reactions.

Sometimes, negative emotions are just signals that we're doing things that are not aligned with our values.

Anyway, that's not the main idea why I blog this afternoon. We'd learnt about this poem by Robert Frost many many years ago. and at the age of 22, I truly understand it and each word is piercing.

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood.

And sorry I could not travel both.

And be one traveler, long I stood.

And looked down one as far as I could.

To where it bent in the undergrowth.

...

And both the morning equally lay.

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh I kept the first for another day.

Yet knowing how way leads on to way.

I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh.

Somewhere ages and ages hence.

Two roads diverged in a wood

and I-I took the less travelled by.

And taht has made all the difference.
